He didn’t want braces, so we talked about Invisalign First.
Invisalign First is designed for younger patients who need early orthodontic treatment. He promised his mom he’ll wear his aligners, and that’s a big part of making treatment work: they need to be worn about 22 hours a day.
Some of our families travel a long way to see us. For the right patient, aligners can help us space out visits while still providing attentive care. And without brackets or wires, there are usually fewer unexpected repair appointments.
I still use braces, too. Invisalign and braces are both tools. What matters most is choosing the right treatment to help you and your family achieve healthy, beautiful smiles.
